Marching band showed me one of the most important parts of my life. Marching band teaches people. With Mr. Beach as a director, one learns more than just how to march and play an instrument. It all started three years ago with five people in a loose section. To preface this story, I need to explain instruments. I found myself playing mellophone in marching band. The mellophone resembled a bigger trumpet and used by French horn players. Flugelhorns also look like trumpets, but they share the…

audiences humored laughter. In fact, I was the only person to step on stage for the entire performance who was of the male gender. What does this mean, why is it special or uncanny for an entire ensemble to be made up of exclusively women? What does music do to change implications and assumptions on this matter? What are we expecting? This entire situation I found myself in seemed to be nothing more than a happy accident. KaeRenae Mitchell emailed me mid-semester to…

decided to go was BYU Baroque Ensemble, a production made by BYU students, taking place at Madsen Recital Hall Harris Fine Arts Center on November 3. The idea of making a baroque orchestra is where musician get together to make a perfect composition of music, the baroque orchestra is made up mostly of stringed instruments, when you listen you feel something different that makes you see it from another perspective, you just can’t stop listening and focus on every note that the musicians are…

‘Casablanca’ was released during the golden age of Hollywood film; “a visual and narrative style for making motion pictures and a mode of production used in the American film industry between 1917 and 1960”. It is a style in which falls between formalism and realism. Casablanca makes the shots realistic at the beginning by making the voice over resemble a radio reporter - drawing the audience in and making them feel apart of the story. But the the film is then also filmed in controlled studio…

also another one behind the grand piano. The piano is a black piano and it usually has music papers all over. I sometimes stand there behind Bryce and mess with him hoping to mess him up. I sometimes also like to try and play chords or something someone shows me. To the left is a rack full of movies that Dr. Ryan shows the choir sometimes. The movies all have to deal with music, for example, The Sound of Music. The piano faces the different choir sections that are grouped together. There are 4…

dance faded a calm atmosphere began to settle. The first notes of the W. A. Mozart’s “Concerto for Clarinet and Orchestra” K #622 Movement #1 begin to be heard the curtain rises and eight dancers appear in a circle, four males and four females. As the Music continues the dancers travel in a circle with very balletic movements taking turns to partner in the center. Partnering in this dance doesn’t necessarily mean that it is a man and a woman dancing together, throughout the work there are duets…

This song has a wide dynamic range due to the “extremely soft passages as well as extremely loud passages” (Elements of Music). The rhythm patterns change throughout this piece. It begins to slow then changes to a faster pace. Along with changing rhythmic patterns there is a change in melody. The song changes from low to high pitches. Dissonance and consonance harmonic tones…

am truly passionate about. When I’m not at school or working at Chick-fil-A, my time is almost entirely devoted to band. I am also always looking for ways to create a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly space. Environmental awareness and music make me the happiest in my life. I’ve spent roughly 1,300 hours taking part in my high school marching band program. I’ve also spent many hours participating in concert band. The William Blount High School Band has not only helped me grow as a…
